I love Sam Rockwell‘s characters. He’s severely typecasted as a mischievous slacker, regardless of context (at least in everything that reaches Sweden). Here he manages a waterpark and takes in a socially challenged teenager on anxious summer vacation. The film aims specifically at teens, and has probably high enough recognition among American children of divorced parents. The teen guy gets revenge on mom’s new guy, gets a cool father figure, becomes socially reconstituted and gets even a kiss from the sweet girl. Frankly, it gets quite sticky after a while. Nothing breaks the trail of success, but of course that feels very nice. Once I dreaded a pending super shame when the guy is about to try break dance, but even that was fine. Then there’s my usual complaint that the whole story is implausible – why does the super slacker suddenly care for this outcast? But this movie is not for questions, it is for popcorn. And not for people like me.
